and the bass keeps runnin runnin

Who: Anyone who heard the announcement, caught a flier in the plaza, of heard by word of mouth. Everyone's welcome!
What: A rave! Well, "rave." Luceti makes everything a little different.
When: June 21st, nightfall to early morning
Where: the beach near Adele's house
Summary: It's the first day of summer! This calls for bonfires, naturally, but why not spice it up with loud music, flashing lights, drinks, dancing, and a conspicuous lack of curfew?
Rating: PG to PG-13, please move anything steamier to appointments or Adele will take the hose to you



Getting all the firewood, food, and drink out to the beach had been, honestly, the hardest part of preparation. Whatever else one might say about running things on magic, it certainly did cut down on the trouble of constructing edifices and machines to run the entertainment side of a party. As it stands, the setup is labour-intensive but otherwise minimal, and there's not much to do by sunset. Escape the house before Max and Zevran, the culture-displaced madmen, can put any more eyeliner on him. Arrive at the beach. Light the bonfires. Make sure the bonfire-cooking-compliant food is set out. Put up a table loaded with bottles, cups, ice, and permanent markers. Thank the resident doctor and quartermaster once more. Plug in the stereo system.

The speakers and light show have been with him since he left his house, in the form of the resident god of mischief, and they confer over sheets of paper with track names and times written on them for a little while just before the start. That's the last of it, and by the time the sky above the mountains is beginning to darken into twilight, the first thumping, trilling strains of dance music begin to echo out across the sand.

It's the shortest night of the year. Best make every second last.

[OOC: Feel free to post your character for mingling, since this entire event is very free-form anyway. For everyone's enjoyment there is a drinks table, food, several bonfires, the ocean (lifeguards not on duty, splash drunkenly at your own risk), and of course a dancing area with lights and music. Music will probably be primarily EDM with a heavy bass line, but occasionally wander into the territories of electro-swing and the like to give even less modern partygoers a chance to show off. The light show as well will stray out of the typical at times, with the expected abstract wheeling and flashing lights giving way to more complicated illusions. Don't be surprised to find yourself and your fellows occasionally dancing in a forest glen or a Rivendell look-alike for a few minutes at a time. Loki is working the tech booth, after all.

The party will go as long as people stay and are enjoying themselves, so have fun and tag around!]

Turned back...? Is this a kind of regular occurrence in your world?

[The apocalypse always seemed so final. The ultimate end. He smiles when Zevran leans against him though, settling a little with the contact.]

Yeah, I mean, I fully support upholding traditions but we should probably avoid the murder. I think it might upset Jack.

A Blight. A massive outpouring of creatures tainted by something contagious with a militant mind and their only desire to slaughter those untainted and ruin the world. I travel with Grey Wardens, men and women of all races, pasts, and nationalities to fight off and turn back the tide. At the moment there are but two in our company but I think we have a fighting chance.

[Alistair was kind and young, but fought well. The Warden, his Warden...he cannot imagine her failing.]

As you like. No murder. Even if it could be very funny.

[He shudders at the idea of it. It sounds horrifying.]

I hope so. That sounds... kind of the stuff of prophecy.

[He smiles slightly.]

Well, if you wanted to murder Loki I wouldn't entirely object.
antivanleather: (can we try my plan?)

[personal profile] antivanleather 2013-07-11 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It was at one point, three or so Blights ago. This is the fifth. We know it can be turned back, it is only a matter of time.

[So he has read, so he has been told, and so he chooses to believe. He gave his word and he means to keep it.]

Mm? Assassinating Deities costs extra, Max. Why is it you want this one dead?
abjurer: (Jealous)

[personal profile] abjurer 2013-07-11 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Prophecies are always tricky business. But you sound pretty certain which is good.

[He grimaces slightly at the question and shrugs.]

He called me an 'it'.
antivanleather: (I am listening)

[personal profile] antivanleather 2013-07-11 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...he is a god. They tend to do that. Or-

[There's more to it, he's sure, but he's drunk and frowning and oooh that is a familiar grimance.]

He made you feel lesser for not being human. I need to go put something nasty in his next drink.
abjurer: (Alone)

[personal profile] abjurer 2013-07-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He did. I just- I'm not ashamed of what I am, but I'm not a freak. I'm not a monster.
antivanleather: (Not as fine as your mother's)

[personal profile] antivanleather 2013-07-12 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
You are as good a man as any I have known, and far better than most I have met.

[He reaches up to pat the nape of Max's neck.]

If you truly wish him dead? I will see what I can do to make that happen. It will take a lot of time, but for you? I will try. And probably end up caught and killed again but it never sticks too much here.

[He makes a soft noise when Zevran touches him, and takes a shuddering breath before shaking his head.]

No. No I don't want that. I'm just... bitter.
antivanleather: (can we try my plan?)

[personal profile] antivanleather 2013-07-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be.

[He says it like it's something simple. Like blowing out a candle or blinking.]

He will say what he wants to say, see what he wants to see, think what he wants to think. The only one that determines what and who you are is you. So he may think you less than human. So what? You do not care for his company. His opinion does not matter.
abjurer: (Casual)

[personal profile] abjurer 2013-07-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You're right. I know you are. Sorry, I just- I have drunk a lot tonight. I should probably drink some water or something.
antivanleather: (I am all ears truly)

[personal profile] antivanleather 2013-07-12 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Because it is a night for revelry! Come. Let us go do the bumping and grinding to the dub step.
